GOOGLE NOTEBOOK

What Google Notebook?
Google notebook is an online, secured notebook that allows you to safely store information. It allows you to cut, copy, and paste information, images, and links from the web onto your notebook without closing the same window. It also allows you to add your own notes. It is easily located on a tool status bar.

Explain some of the basics of how to use it (in a way that even a novice could understand).
Google notebook is a very easy online program to use. Anywhere internet is offered a person can easily access the account. To create and access an account simply enter www.google.com/intl/en/options/ In a step by step process a new user creates an account. They then follow the directions listed by google.

Explain notable features (for the more experienced user to check into).
For the more experienced user, there are several helpful functions offered through google notebook. A user can make multiple notebooks for different subjects, or they can divide a single notebook into different subjects. A person may also rearrange notes and information into different notebooks or sections through a simple click and drag of a mouse. Adding your own notes and comments to Google notebook is fairly easy. Search all through your notes by typing key words or phrases into the search box at the top of the page. You may also collaborate your notes with others, publish your work, and search for other notebooks that have been created on the web.

Evaluation and Conclusion: Why would someone want to use it and how would they use it? Are there any pitfalls to the product? (This section may be both positive and negative.)
Someone would want to use Google Notebook because it is a great way to stay organized, especially when frequently browsing the web. Just copy and paste information and you are done. It is also a safe site in which a person would not have to worry about hackers. The Google notebook would be great for research papers because a student would not have to worry about losing the great amount of note cards that they have accumulated for a single paper. Instead, their notes and information would be easily accessible on a trusted site. The fact that there is not a help button might be a pitfall for someone who is not “computer smart”. Overall, Google notebook is a great tool, especially for students. It is easy to use, with different fonts, sizes, styles, and colors available.
It is easy to use.
